Kit Check - Prussian/Russian Cavalry - Perry Miniatures

In the first channel video for some time, I take a look inside the latest and much anticipated 28mm plastic kit from Perry Miniatures. In the first part I will look through the contents, give some thoughts and information before moving on to showing some examples of completed miniatures in Part 2.
Combining multiple regiment builds from different nations makes this a versatile kit unlike those that have come before. A hard to execute idea, Perry have done a great job fitting everything in. The set can be found here:

Always nice to see new Perry kits. Fantastic!

[@thelastbattalion3509]

It’s really good, combining multiple potential units into one was a great idea and they’ve done really well fitting all the options in.

[@shring7]

Great review, the perrys are spoiling us as usual.

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Completely agree.

[@theenigmaticgamer]

Very helpful review, thanks.

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Glad you liked it.

[@rustedplate1845]

Really great you are back. Waiting for more and more Napoleonics!

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Thanks, it’s been a little while.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Really great review and the info sheet you get is superb,and the brigade deal is just ideal

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Thank you, yep the info sheet is really good.

[@Castillo525]

Thank you for this video, Im looking forward to starting a prussian army and was very glad plastic cavalry was released!

[@thelastbattalion3509]

You’re welcome, I think we’re lucky to be hobbying at a time when these great news sets are becoming available!

[@provjaro]

This looks to be the best plastic cavalry release from Perry. Huge variety of troop options and info plus quality flags.

[@thelastbattalion3509]

One thing I didn’t focus on was the flags, which is my error, it’s because I don’t use them. Otherwise yes, possibly their best cavalry so far (although I do quite like the Austrian dragoon/cheavaulger set).

[@israelrodriguez4365]

Nice presentation!

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Thank you.

[@bonysminiatures3123]

A concise review as always , got my eye on a particular regiment , new Russia regiment look interesting with green facings

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Thank you very much. It's hard not to want to start new things when a new release comes out.

[@johnrohde5510]

The Prussian coat is called a Litewka, pronounced Lit-eff-kah. It's an originally Polish-Lithuanian garment. A small part of the old Grand Duchy of Lithuania was part of Napoleonic Prussia: the area of Memel.

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Despite reading that word for the better part of 20 years, I've never actually noticed that it runs 'ew' and not 'we', hence my pronunciation! Every day's a school day.

[@HordesofThings]

Thanks for this, higher resolution than 360 would be good for miniatures though! :)

[@thelastbattalion3509]

It’s uploaded in 1080p50 HD - your device might be autoplaying it in 360, my phone does that.

[@HordesofThings]

@@thelastbattalion3509 Cheers it is avaialbe now in 1080, I must have just seen it immediately after you uploaded it and before it had done the final HD processing step :)

[@thelastbattalion3509]

Not to worry, as you say it was probably KZbin finishing the background processing, you were just too keen!

[@henryferro7344]

does anybody know if you can convert the russian dragoons to cuirassiers?

[@thelastbattalion3509]

The most obvious issue would be the lack of cuirass, which I suppose you might be able to sculpt on with the right patience and materials. I think that it might be quite a long-winded and fiddly thing to do, although not impossible.

[@josephwalukonis9934]

Well, from 1801 to 1812, as far as I can tell from Viskovatov, Russian Cuirassiers did not wear the cuirass. I am planning to use Russian Dragoons even though the saddle cloths were a bit different.
